most people who we're talking about as being "not a real fan"

Who is the "we" you are talking about? If you read what I wrote, I never suggested anyone is or is not a "real fan." Everyone I am talking about is a "real fan." All it takes to be a "real fan" is to be a fan of something.

However, being a fan of something, and being "in the fandom" are different things and obviously mean different things when people say them. One is not better than the other. They're just different. I am a passing fan of a lot of things that I am not in the fandom of, and I would bet so are you. This is not bad or good; this means we simply engage with the meta and the fandoms of those things differently, and I don't feel it's gatekeeping to make that point to people who are saying "all fans are in fandom" because we're not.

There is plenty of media where I have consumed it, liked it, written a glowing opinion of it, then expressed opinions to a group of friends or posted it somewhere, then never engaged in the actual fandom. Have you never done this? Do you really believe this is that uncommon? I would say this is one of the most common ways of engaging with media there is!
